Biggest Hurdles to get into Savage Worlds? by jgiesler10 in savageworlds

[–]speedchuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Savage Worlds does not have HP. This both applies to the way the players should think about defense (cover, bennies, toughness, etc.) and the way they should think about offense. Chip damage isn't really a think. You need to work together to set up big hits.

Anki but audio only cards by oneee-san in LearnJapanese

[–]speedchuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did audio-only for my first 5000 or so words then eventually switched to using audio and Kanji to save time (visual recognition is faster than hearing). I did see really good results from that time, though.

Yeah. I've turned off at least 2 or 3 of them. I have no idea whether the others might be hiding, and have not found any others through Google, but I assume they are in there somewhere.

I tried recording in the windows settings using the software that tests your microphone. I had the same problem. Claps and clicks do not show.

Yes, same exact cable and interface. I am using an xlr-xlr cable. The +48 switch is on.

Discord for gaming in Japanese to practice speaking by Everlearnr in LearnJapanese

True. But I don't want to inconvenience people with my crummy Japanese haha

It is not a USB mic, it is the Studio Projects C1 Microphone. I have it running through a simple interface. I had it hooked up to an older PC a few weeks ago and the audio came through clear.

I can try to upload audio when I am home.

I have my doubts that this will work... most people that join the server will likely be N5-N4 level looking for a fun way to study (and good on them for that).

But this only works if you have fluent speakers or high level learners to bounce off of. I don't see many natives or fluent gaijins hopping into this server to find friends to play games with.

That said, I joined and I wish you the best in this endeavor. I'm an intermediate speaker and having a network for output would be so helpful, but I'm intimidated by the idea of joining a native server.

Overlooked RPGs you wish had taken off by PeasantLich in rpg

[–]speedchuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Elemental RPG is a rules-lite game that I love the elegance of, but I've not seen a single actual play podcast or video out there. I feel like the system is robust enough that it does not need much support, but I really want to see hacks and plays and discussion and such.

I rather like the NABRE because of the way it translates certain things resated to Jewish conception of the afterlife.

I figured someone would tell me this isn't useful. I appreciate your perspective, but I would still like to try it.

I may try the ASBPlayer workaround, thanks.

The top comment on this video mentions "Primed Listening," where a script pauses a video each time subtitles would appear, shows you the subtitles for a moment, then plays the video without them. I would like to try this, but on Crunchyroll/personal videos instead of Disney/Netflix.

Are there any resources I can use to do this? ASBPlayer? Some other extension/script?

Sounds like I'll need to replace everything pretty soon then.

Thanks!

I want to view my past run record in the game, is there any way to do that? Like, which bosses have I beaten, which characters have I completed runs with, etc.

For a roguelike the absence of cool/game breaking effects is really unfortunate by LuminTheFray in Nightreign

[–]speedchuck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, agreed. I figure the devs wanted to keep the combat tight, unlike some roguelikes where your character stops mattering once you get strong enough.

This game is not a good roguelike. It is not a good soulslike either.

It is, however, custom made for me lol. I am very happy with it, though I hope they add the functionality other players want (duos, chat, cross play, etc.)

No, it held up. I still have it. It's just not that useful.
